What Kind of Spore Swab is This?
    #28688612 - 03/06/24 11:49 AM (10 months, 6 days ago)



I ordered some spore swabs and this is what I received. What is this? How do I use it?

APE is Albino Penis Envy.

Usually you want to take a swab and put it on an agar plate to germinate the spores.

I saw a video where a muthafucka sliced the swab in half so he could do two plates...
Edit...this would probably be more contam.peone, though

Looks like a Slant not a swab. You sure you ordered the right thing?

You don't have to cut it in half. You can streak several plates with the same swab

It says swab on the website I ordered from, but a slant would make more sense. I've never used a slant before. I assume I can transfer it to agar or a liquid culture then. I see lots of instructions on how to create slants, but not how to use them.

If it is indeed a slant then just do transfers to agar and go from there. I wouldn't go direct to LC

:whathesaid:

I wouldn’t concern myself with liquid culturing procedures until having several successful grows with spores>agar>grains>bulk substrate first.
